System Of Hate are a Barnsley based dark punk rock band who feature ex members of The X Rippers, The Civilians and Total Confusion. The band is made up of Dave Sutcliffe on Vocals, Shaun 'Paddy' O'Neill on bass, Pat Crawford on guitar, Carl Gilliford on drums and Martin Roberts on keyboards. “It’s a great powerful Punk Rock take on the Killing Joke kind of thing. They've got the intensity, the feral power, the tribal drumming. Really great live, a fantastically intense show - and they are good players as well, a good tight band. The songs show a little bit of imagination" - John Robb, journalist and singer with Goldblade/The Membranes.
